Canada's National Implementation Strategy on Climate Change

Preface

This National Implementation Strategy is part of a coordinated national response to 
climate change. Federal, provincial and territorial governments will implement this 
broad strategy through individual and joint actions, the first series of which are 
outlined in the First National Business Plan (2000/01-2002/03). These governments 
will communicate results in progress reports and detail new actions in annually 
updated three-year business plans.

This approach was developed from the National Climate Change Process (National 
Process), which was established by the federal, provincial and territorial ministers 
responsible for energy and the environment in response to the 1997 direction by 
the First Ministers of the federal, provincial and territorial governments of Canada. 

International Context

In 1992, Canada signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate 
Change (UNFCCC or the Convention). The Convention set the objective of 
stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would 
prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. The parties 
to the Convention judged that initial efforts were not sufficient and, in 1997, they 
negotiated the Kyoto Protocol (Protocol), which, if it comes into force, would set 
binding emissions targets for developed countries for the five-year period of 2008 to 
2012. Canada's commitment would require reductions to 6 percent below the level 
recorded in 1990. These reduction obligations may be met, in part, by acquiring 
credits for reductions made in other countries under the Kyoto Mechanism provisions. 
Since 1997, negotiations have continued to further define the rules and guidelines 
under the Protocol, and to set the framework for decisions by Parties on ratification.
